Opposing microbiome-mediated axes link modifiable lifestyles to health and chronic diseases

We identify the gut microbiome as a key mediator linking lifestyle to health and disease, providing a framework for microbiome-based assessment to guide lifestyle interventions for health promotion and disease prevention. Microbiome-defined health- and disease-oriented mediator axes were supported by fecal short-chain fatty acids and plasma cytokines from >1,700 individuals, revealing butyrate-associated anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory host profiles, respectively.

Metformin-supportive nutrition: When gut microbes eat drugs

Zhao et al. identify microbial AdhE as a metformin-degrading enzyme in metformin low-responders and propose enzyme-based microbiome intervention as a strategy to rescue therapy. Published in Cell metabolism, these peer-reviewed endocrinology findings provide quantitative evidence to inform clinical risk stratification, therapeutic decision-making, and follow-up trial design.

Ozempic in Pregnancy: Diabetes, Not Drug, Linked to Early Births?

The reason you're taking Ozempic or Wegovy matters during pregnancy, with underlying diabetes potentially posing a greater risk than the medication itself. This study challenges the previously held, often generalized, assumption that GLP-1 medications alone are responsible for pregnancy complications.

Clinical Guidance for Disease-Modifying Immunotherapy in Children and Adolescents With New-Onset (Stage 3) Type 1 Diabetes

Teplizumab-specific recommendations are identified, with broader principles framed for adaptation across health systems. This article addresses who should lead care, how to approach eligibility and timing, how to assess β-cell reserve and infection risk, how to sequence treatment with diabetic ketoacidosis recovery and early education, and how to monitor treatment safely.

Transient Cognitive Vulnerability After Hypoglycemia in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes: Evidence From Continuous Glucose Monitoring and Cognitive Ecologic Momentary Assessment

Hypoglycemia was associated with a transient period of cognitive vulnerability largely confined to the hour after an event, with little evidence of delayed effects. Findings support avoiding or exercising caution during cognitively demanding tasks for up to an hour after a hypoglycemic event.

A gait foundation model for prediction of multisystem health phenotypes from 3D skeletal motion

These findings establish gait as an independent, multisystem biosignal, motivating integration of gait analysis into routine clinical assessment as a scalable, passive vital sign. Relative to a baseline model using age, body mass index, visceral adipose tissue and height alone, gait embeddings improved prediction in all 18 systems in males and 17 of 18 in females, as well as prediction of clinical diagnoses and medication use.

Common Genetic Variants Near SLC2A2 and Glycemic Response to Glimepiride in the GRADE Comparative Effectiveness Clinical Trial

Genetic variation influences glycemic response to glucose-lowering medications, with SLC2A2 emerging as a genetic factor that modulates sulfonylurea response. These findings warrant further study to evaluate whether low-response allele carriers would benefit from alternative glucose-lowering therapies to advance precision diabetes care.

Leveraging induced cell states for cancer therapy: The case for dynamic synthetic lethality

We argue that this interval can be exploited with metabolic modifiers to achieve persister cell death and improve cancer outcomes. Metabolic differences between cancer and normal cells are accentuated by the selection pressure of therapy.

Presentation, management, and outcomes of ectopic Cushing syndrome: an international, multicentre, retrospective, cohort study

Outcomes in ectopic Cushing syndrome are driven by early control of hypercortisolism. Failure to achieve remission within 6 months is associated with markedly worse complications and risk of death, supporting ectopic Cushing syndrome as a time-critical endocrine emergency.

Beyond singular effectors: The futile creatine cycle from molecular mechanism to integrated adipocyte thermogenesis

The FCC thus offers a reference point for connecting the biochemical mechanisms of other thermogenic cycles to their physiological contributions. They establish physiological relevance beyond what maximal respiratory rates in reductionist systems alone can reveal.

Lactate charging of tRNAs "brakes" the ribosome

In a recent study in Molecular Cell, Wang et al. show that upon excess lactate production, AARS1 charges lactate onto tRNAs, generating dead-end lactyl-tRNAs that obstruct translation elongation to re-balance metabolism, a molecular "brake" that cancer cells avoid through upregulation of lactate exporters. Published in Cell metabolism, these peer-reviewed endocrinology findings provide quantitative evidence to inform clinical risk stratification, therapeutic decision-making, and follow-up trial design.

Lipid organization in health and disease

In this Voices piece, our authors explore these themes through specific examples. Lipids are spatially and dynamically organized-within organelles, across cell types and organs, and in response to microbial and dietary inputs.
